When an irresistible force such as you
Expressing the power and attraction of someone irresistible.
Meets an old immovable object like me

You can bet just as sure as you live
Asserting a certainty that when such forces collide, a change or resolution is inevitable.
Something's gotta give

Something's gotta give
-Something's gotta give
-When an irrepressible smile such as yours
Acknowledging the impact of a charming smile on a stubborn, unyielding heart.
Warms an old implacable heart such as mine

Don't say no because I insist
Encouraging the other person not to reject the connection despite resistance.
Somewhere, somehow
Introducing the idea that someone must experience a romantic encounter.
Someone's gotta be kissed

So, en garde, who knows what the fates might have in store

I'll try hard ignorin' those lips that I adore

But how long can anyone try?
